Thought Dvorak's column on why academia isn't looking at "phenomena" like MySpace.com or LiveJournal is pretty interesting. Heck, we're computer folks and we found at Lotusphere that a lot of folks don't know about even "mainstream" blogs or blogging.
Since the appearance of the desktop computer, very little academic analysis has been done on it and how people use it. Yes, there are a ton of surveys done to show that people use computers for e-mail and entertainment. These are usually done on behalf of advertisers looking for an edge. They are not helping us understand the overnight successes of experimental mechanisms.
